Ku-ring-Gai Council has recently released a Draft Unstructured Recreation Strategy for public comment.

The Draft proposes that Lindfield Rocks and the cliff near Wahroonga Oval be categorised as "Designated Escarpments" for the activities of "rock climbing, bouldering and abseiling".

One of my friend's mothers works for Ku-Ring-Gai council. I've obtained the work email of the plan's author. I'm not sure if emailing her directly with concerns would be a better means of having concerns addressed.

If people would like to indicate what they see as the *main* issues with the draft plan, and specifically the climbing guidelines, I could turn them into a document and email it to her.
